Preserve the history locally first - the Fire Museum or the Mand Library. But if neither can accept it, the National Fire Heritage Center will, especially the written documents and scrap books. "Preserving the Perishable"

Fire stations have been incorporated into commercial buildings at the developer's expense.  There are several in NYC.

The city did see it as a cost of doing business.  They provided a school, day care, extended the 7 line and built a subway station, for example. The land use taxes that pay for public safety are the ones that often get deferred for development. Resident sales and income taxes do not get deferred...

Quite so! Most likely.  Instead of a fire company (289 and 139), it could have been the architects.

More historical trivia captured in architectural details. Ladder 139 was the original Ladder Company scheduled for 289 house in 1913. Ladder 138, scheduled for 288 house, was organized in 1929 at 289 house instead. 288 house never had a Ladder company other than Ladder 136 temporarily and TCU...

The early combination companies have been well documented.  289 was never listed as a combination company.  Has anyone ever seen anything to support that 289 was a combination from 1914 to 1929 as written above?

Greenwich Village was covered by the 5th and the 3rd Battalions. As engine companies were disbanded in this area over the years, the 3rd Battalion was reassigned to The Bronx (1956) and eventually the 5th Battalion was disbanded (1974). Today, the area is mostly the 2nd Battalion. 1869 - 1873...
